3. INTENDED USE.
THE TENANT will use the leased area only and exclusively to establish and operate therein an industrial activity of manufacture of medical devices.
The limitations to use established in the Law are applicable, so that THE TENANT may not give to the leased area a use other than that established in this lease contract. For these purposes, it will require the prior express written consent of THE OWNER.
THE OWNER reserves the right to grant or not said consent or grant it subject to conditions, without having to explain the motives or reasons on which its decision is based.
4. TERM.
The term of the lease is seven (7) years from the signing date of this lease contract. Said term may be expended before its expiration only by express written consent of the parties, but not by legal provision automatically, practically or according to custom.
The parties agree that there will be a period, from the signing of this contract to the effective delivery of the property, of approximately three months, during which THE TENANT will not enter in possession of the property, and THE OWNER will make repairs in the roof of the leased area. During this period, the price of the rent will not be collected and the term of the lease will be counted, even though, in a sign of good faith, THE TENANT will pay for the first month lease and the security deposit described in clauses five and six of this contract will be maintained. This period will end with the signing of the delivery minutes of the property and its improvements, which will be included as Annex I in this contract.
Notwithstanding the above, THE OWNER undertakes to allow THE TENANT to start making construction in the Leased Area, after coordination with THE OWNER, to adapt the property to its production needs. THE TENANT, in turn, exempts THE OWNER from liability for any damage that may be caused to the construction made by THE TENANT during this period. In the event that one of the contractors causes damage to the arrangements made by THE OWNER, THE TENANT will be liable to repair such damage.
THE TENANT expressly waives the unilateral early termination established in Article 72 of Law 7527; consequently, the sanctions in clause 15 of this contract will apply.
5. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS.
i. The price of the lease corresponds to the amount of SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS (US$7,533.75), which will be paid and required monthly in advance. The first payment will take place on the signing date of this contract, and since the Leased Area will be delivered later,
Page 3 of 15
[logo]
SECURITIES MARKET
OF COSTA RICA
MULTIFONDOS
the payment will correspond to the first month from the signing date of the Delivery Minutes of the Property and its Improvements. The following payments will take place during the first seven (7) calendar days of each month, during the term of this contract and any subsequent extension or renewal thereof, without prejudice to the stipulations of article fifty-eight of the Law concerning legal tolerance.
ii. THE TENANT undertakes to pay the rent to THE OWNER by deposit in the checking account in dollars indicated by THE OWNER, or at the administrative offices of ZONA FRANCA METROPOLITANA S.A., located at Barreal de Heredia, three hundred meters to the east of CENADA, at any other address that THE OWNER indicates previously and in writing. It is the obligation of THE TENANT to make the payments according to the mechanism established by THE OWNER according to the previous paragraph, and said mechanisms prevail over any policy for handling providers of THE TENANT.
iii. The rent will be paid by THE TENANT in dollars, or in the equivalent thereof in colones, at the reference selling rate of exchange of the Central Bank of Costa Rica, on the date of payment. If the payment of the rent is made by check and the bank on which it is drawn rejects it, either for lack of funds, different signature, account closed or any other cause not imputable to THE OWNER, the receipt issued by THE OWNER as proof of payment will be automatically cancelled, in which case THE OWNER may take the actions established by Law.
iv. All payments of rent not made during five calendar days following the date they should have been made will be subject to a late interest rate of three percent (3%) monthly in dollars on the outstanding balance, from the date the payment had to be made to the actual moment of its total payment. The latter is without prejudice to any other legal means for delay in payment that may be legally taken by THE OWNER.
v. THE TENANT hereby undertakes to pay the rent completely, totally and without any deduction, so that THE OWNER will always receive the full amount corresponding to it under this contract. In addition, it undertakes to make the payments on the due date, without any tolerance term in favor of THE TENANT, since it is its obligation to pay on time. Thus, any delay on the payment date will give right to THE OWNER to sue for eviction, without prejudice to the other applicable legal actions.
vi. The parties establish for all applicable legal purposes that the price of the rent established is NET, so that if, in the future, the amount of the rent is affected by any tax, dues, charge or rate, or act of authority, such as but without limitation exclusively to sales tax, said price will be increased proportionately so that THE OWNER would receive as rent the net monthly price established in this contract.
vii. The parties agree that the obligation to pay the Rent, according to the terms of this Contract, does not depend on compliance with the terms and conditions of any present and future sublease that may be authorized pursuant to clause thirteen of this contract.

viii. The rent will be increased annually by three point five (3.5%) percent, which percentage will be calculated based on the price paid in the month immediately prior to the anniversary of each year, counted from the date of signing of the Delivery Minutes of the Property and its Improvements.
6. PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE OR SECURITY DEPOSIT.
As performance guarantee of the obligations of this contract, THE TENANT must maintain a Security Deposit equivalent to three (3) months of rent, i.e. for the amount of twenty-two thousand six hundred one dollars and twenty-five cents (US$22,601.25), amount maintained by THE OWNER in custody and available immediately.
Said deposit will be updated proportionately to the annual increases established of the rent price, so that always the principal of the Security Deposit would represent three (3) months of the current rent price.
The amount deposited as security will not produce any interest in favor of THE TENANT.
It is understood that the purpose of the Security Deposit is to guarantee THE OWNER by the possible use of this money to answer for any type of damage imputable to THE TENANT produced in the leased area, as well as in any other event that implies monetary liabilities for THE TENANT in favor of THE OWNER, originating from this contract.
In the event of damage in the leased area in excess of the amount of said Security Deposit, THE TENANT must cover the difference from its own money. The Security Deposit may also be used at the discretion of THE OWNER to pay the indemnities or penalties for early termination, as established by mutual agreement in clause fifteen of this contract. Any deduction made from the Security Deposit must be communicated to THE TENANT in advance and the proof of expense must be supplied.
THE OWNER may apply the Security Deposit directly without requiring authorization from THE TENANT.
THE OWNER reserves in all cases the right to charge the payments, so that the existence of the deposit or the charging of payments against it will not impair the action of eviction for lack of timely payment of the price of the lease, nor any court action or collection or execution or additional guarantees by THE OWNER against THE TENANT.
In the event that THE OWNER chooses to apply the deposit, totally or partially, in order to
Page 5 of 15

SECURITIES MARKET
OF COSTA RICA
MULTIFONDOS
cover any of the items guaranteed by it, THE TENANT is obligated to replenish or complete it within eight calendar days immediately following the date of receipt of the request in this sense, made by THE OWNER, so that the deposit would always be maintained in the total amount originally agreed upon, as long as this lease contract remains in force.
Noncompliance with its replenishment within the established term will give THE OWNER the right to deduct from the amount delivered as payment of the rent of the following month the necessary amount to replenish or complete the deposit until reaching the agreed amount, in which case the price of the lease corresponding to that month will be pending payment.
The Security Deposit constituted must be maintained in said condition throughout the validity term of this lease contract, its possible extensions or as long as there are balances pending payment originating from it in favor of THE OWNER.
If THE OWNER does not use the Security Deposit or part thereof as indicated in the cases described, then THE OWNER will be obligated to return its total amount or the remainder within thirty calendar days following the expiration of the term of this lease contract, established in clause 4, provided that the area is returned in the condition in which it is delivered and the bills for telephone, water and electricity of the last month during which THE OWNER [sic] occupied the Leased Area are paid.
7. REFURBISHING AND IMPROVEMENTS.
Improvement will mean any substantial modification of the Leased Area that perfects, strengthens, reinforces or increases its value.
Any refurbishing or improvement in the Leased Area must have the express, prior and written authorization of THE OWNER, who reserves the right to grant or not said authorization, which will not be denied without justification. THE OWNER undertakes to deliver a written answer within a term not exceeding fifteen days after its presentation.
At the expiration of this contract, such improvements or refurbishing will remain for the benefit of the Leased Area, without THE OWNER paying any amount to THE TENANT for this reason.
Everything that, in order to be removed, leaves a trace will be understood as adhered to the leased area or the equipment, among other possible cases: dividing walls, doors, elevators, carpets, chairs, equipment, floors, additional air conditioning systems, electric plants and facades, which may remain in the Leased Area for the benefit of THE OWNER.
If the improvements are removed by THE TENANT, it undertakes to repair at its own expense the damage caused by such removal to the Leased Area, so that it remains in

the same manner in which it was before introducing said improvement, and the lease contract will be maintained valid in all its aspects during the time required to make such repairs. In this case, the date of actual removal from the Leased Area will be considered that when said repairs are completed at the satisfaction of THE OWNER.
THE OWNER will have full right to appoint inspectors to supervise the performance of the improvements or refurbishing and will be required to stop them in the event of finding that they are not in accordance with the terms of their approval.
Any improvement authorized by THE OWNER will be paid by THE TENANT, who must process the obtaining and payment of all the necessary permits from the competent authorities for their execution.

If it ends before the maturity of two years, THE TENANT must pay to THE OWNER an amount equivalent to four months of rent. If it ends before the maturity of three years and more, THE TENANT will lose the security deposit of the rent calculated at the value of the rent at that time.
The parties agree that, in addition to the remedies indicated herein, they may resort to any other remedy permitted by law, whereby the lack of application of any of the recourses does not mean a waiver thereof or consent to any of the causes of default. THE OWNER may use the security deposit given as performance guarantee of all the obligations assumed hereunder to partially pay for said indemnity, after liquidating the other items guaranteed by said deposit, and THE TENANT must pay the balance of the indemnity within eight days immediately following the receipt of the liquidation of said deposit sent to it by THE OWNER.

19. IMPOSSIBILITY TO WAIVE THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES.
